Angelo Babbaro

Chief Performance Officer
Angelo is one of the newest additions to the Chestnut Land Company, joining in early 2012. He attended Villanova University in Philadelphia, PA, and graduated Summa Cum Laude receiving a M.S. in Human Resource Development and a B.A. in Economics. Angelo also earned 3x Academic All-American Honors and the 2010 Villanova Student-Athlete of the year Award while playing running-back for the 2009 Division I National Championship Villanova football team.

Angelo is no stranger to teamwork, a fast-paced environment, or performing under pressure. This is precisely what Angelo and his team was brought here to do: assemble and motivate the strongest, most effective performing teams in the quick-service food industry. Angelo also wears the hats of Co-manager of Social Media and Leader of the S.M.A.R.T. team (Specialized Management Action Response Team): a group of specialized employees that is deployed to address issues in the field. High-level performance is his passion and he is a firm believer that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

When not in the office, Angelo is most likely exercising, playing sports, boating, traveling, listening to country music, or coaching high school football. He has an extreme addiction to the cinnamon sugar pretzel that none of us can explain!
